Essential tools of Business - The short version

http://www.sendoutcards.com/scottbourquin
     I am clearly a little bit of a tech geek.  My entire business life is wrapped around helping people find a way to manage and use technology well.   I find there are lots of tech tools an EBOS (Executive, Business Owner or Salesperson) should never be without and even more they should never be allowed to have.  Many of these tools are free, or relatively inexpensive.  Some things are really clear and obvious such as a car or truck depending on the business you're in.  In the book The Millionaire Next Door , Ford F150s were listed as the most common vehicle of the millionaire class.  Since I've been driving an F150 for almost 15 years now, this one is obvious to me.

     The first F150 was a crew cab, three door 2 Wheel drive, typical contractor white.  My current F150 is a super crew with a carpeted bed and shell.  It is a “Lariat” edition fully loaded leather, six disc CD changer, overall a pretty nice truck.  As I read the book the millionaire next door, the F150 just seemed like the obvious choice and I kind of found a strange that it even made the book.  By the time I finished the book, I realized the whole point was not to teach me or other small-business owners, rather is was to teach people that wanted to become small-business owners.
